Abstract

The preparation of a sea water reference material, NASS-1, is described. The sea water is an open ocean sample, salinity 35.07‰, gathered at the 1300 metre level in the North Atlantic, south-east of Bermuda. It is acidified to pH 1.6 with nitric acid and bottled in 2 1 polyethylene bottles. Reliable values are available for 11 trace metals (As, Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Fe, Pb, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn). The results of a long-term sea water storage experiment are also described.

Acidification of samples was carried out on unfiltrated and filtrated samples to obtain the total extractable and the total dissolved metal concentrations, respectively (Bruland, 1980). The procedure also accomplished three requirements: to avoid metal adsorption on container walls during the storage, which is especially important for unfiltrated samples (Patterson et al., 1976; Nürnberg et al., 1976; Mart, 1979), to stabilize the samples for at least three years (Bruland and Franks, 1979; Bruland, 1980; Berman et al., 1983; Bruland et al., 1985) and to initiate the acid digestion at room temperature, a procedure which, at least for filtrated samples, practically leads to complete release of metals (Capodaglio et al., 1989, 1991, 1994, 1998, 2002; Scarponi et al., 1996, 1997) and which will be continued in the subsequent step. At the moment of analysis, as suggested in case of storage time in excess of 1–2 months even if samples have been acidified (Mart, 1979; Mart et al., 1980), the samples were UV irradiated at elevated temperature (∼90 °C) and in the presence of H2O2 to destroy organic matter, to leach bound metals, and to avoid possible adverse effects on the voltammetric determination (Mart, 1979; Mart et al., 1980; Kolb et al., 1992; Scarponi et al., 1996).
The study reports for the first time on the heavy metal contamination of the waters surrounding a shipwreck lying on the sea floor. Square wave anodic stripping voltammetry has been used for a survey of the total and dissolved Cd, Pb and Cu contents of the seawater at the site of the sinking of the Nicole M/V (Coastal Adriatic Sea, Italy). Results show that the hulk has a considerable impact as regards all three metals in the bottom water, especially for the particulate fraction concentrations, which increased by factors of ∼9 (Cd), ∼3 (Pb) and ∼5 (Cu). The contaminated plume extended downstream for about 2 miles. Much lower contamination was observed for dissolved bottom concentrations; nevertheless Pb (0.56 ± 0.03 nmol/L) is higher than the Italian legal limits established for 2015 and Cd (0.23 ± 0.03 nmol/L) is very close the limit of Cd will be exceeded if the hulk is not removed.

Stated references for ensuring traceability of chemical measurements for long-term environmental monitoring
2001, TrAC - Trends in Analytical Chemistry
Traceability is now considered to be a key concept in chemical and biological measurement sciences. While this concept is increasingly used in many areas, it is still prone to misunderstandings with respect to more `classical' terms such as e.g. accuracy. Traceability implies that measurement data are linked to stated references through an unbroken chain of comparisons, all with stated uncertainties. What does the word `stated references' mean when it is applied to complex environmental analysis? This paper discusses how traceability can be conceived in the context of environmental monitoring, in particular the various stated references (documented standards, reference materials, environmental specimens) to which chemical environmental data may be linked to.
Chapter 8 CRMs for water analysis
1999, Techniques and Instrumentation in Analytical Chemistry
This chapter describes certified-reference materials (CRMs) for water analysis. It discusses major elements in freshwater. The high numbers of determinations performed per year by control laboratories for water-quality assessment imply that suitable CRMs should be available for quality control. The chapter presents the certification of two artificial freshwater reference materials (RMs), one with a low mineral content (CRM 398) and one with a higher mineral content (CRM 399). The chapter focuses on production of the materials. The analytical methods used for testing the between-bottle homogeneity are visible light or UV spectrophotometry. The results did not reveal any significant between-bottle variability and it was concluded that both batches are homogeneous. The techniques used by the participating laboratories are summarized in the chapter. Pretreatment techniques included dilution, addition of HF , irradiation with thermal neutrons, addition of internal standards, and addition of buffer.
Analytical intercomparison results from the 1990 Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission open-ocean baseline survey for trace metals: Atlantic Ocean
1995, Marine Chemistry
“Dissolved” (< 0.4 μm filtered) and “total dissolvable” (unfiltered) trace element samples were collected using “clean” sampling techniques from four vertical profiles in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on the first IOC Trace Metals Baseline expedition. The analytical results obtained by 9 participating laboratories for Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd, Pb, and Se on samples from station 4 in the northeast Atlantic have been evaluated with respect to accuracy and precision (intercomparability). The data variability among the reporting laboratories was expressed as 2 × SD for a given element and depth, and was comparable to the 95% confidence interval reported for the NASS seawater reference standards (representing analytical variability only). The discrepancies between reporting laboratories appear to be due to inaccuracies in standardization (analytical calibration), blank correction, and/or extraction efficiency corrections.
Several of the sampling bottles used at this station were not adequately pre-cleaned (anomalous Pb results). The sample filtration process did not appear to have been a source of contamination for either dissolved or particulate trace elements. The trace metal profiles agree in general with previously reported profiles from the Atlantic Ocean. We conclude that the sampling and analytical methods we have employed for this effort, while still in need of improvement, are sufficient for obtaining accurate concentration data on most trace metals in the major water masses of the oceans, and to enable some evaluation of the biogeochemical cycling of the metals.
